Description

This exclusive pu'er blend originates from the remote Dai, Lahu, and Wa ethnic mountain villages in southern Yunnan Province, where heirloom broad leaf tea varietals have developed a complexity from centuries of seed propagation. Ancient Pu'er Classic comprises multiple vintages resulting in a uniquely bold flavor profile with a body as deep as its history. This shu pu'er is notable for its notes of earthy sweetness, hints of cocoa, and a woodsy, aromatic finish. The very best in everyday organic pu'er.

I'm really enjoying the Pu'ehr tea I've been ordering from Rishi! It's the only caffeinated tea/beverage that I can tolerate on an empty stomach. I love how Rishi sends me little samples of their other teas when I place my order for the 1 lb bag of Pu'ehr. Thanks!

I have been drinking pu-er for several years . I am not particularly good at describing subtle tastes but this pu-er feels good in the mouth. It has a rich, smooth taste, not too acidic or tannic,and perhaps a slight fig taste to round it out. I mostly drink it with milk in the morning. What I love most is the way the caffeine releases continually in waves and not like a tsunami!!

Watching Tim Ferriss turned me onto Pu'er tea and he recommended Rishi on one of his youtube videos. I've tried other brands but have never found another that tastes as good or gets me in a more productive mood. If you're looking for a Pu'er tea that will give you the energy comparable to a cup of coffee but with the added cognitive benefits that come from the tea alkaloids, this is the one for you.

I've been purchasing tea from RISHI tea company for over 10 years. It is truly the best organic tea available. Their Pu'er is superb ... in winter I love the Pu'er Ginger.
All of their tea offerings are great ... from black tea (yunnan gold and assam) to greens, whites and herbals. A great company ... thank you for continued excellence.

I discovered this tea in an old tin at my sister's house and literally couldn't stop drinking it. could not find it at WF so order online. this tea calls to me several times a day. i love the flavor. i rebrew the same leaves a couple of times and save what is left to mix with water late at night.

Thx to Rishi for distribution with Central Market in Austin. Random chance picking this one but is now tied for my #1 tea. Smooth, rich, elegant, lifting. One critique: this is not 'old' mature pu'erh. The descrip is of a method only used since 1970's.

Greetings Rishi Tea and fellow Tea drinkers,
When a client recently bought me a small tin of the Ancient Tree "Classic" Shu Pu-erh from a local health food store in Cottonwood, AZ, I thought to myself, "Oh, this won't even compare to the top-rate cakes I am used to," given that I have several friends who either have tea importing companies or are tea aficioanados. I was so impressed by the "Qi" in this Pu-erh that I called Rishi immediately looking for the exact Batch number, believing it to be "enchanted." I am enthusiastically ordering more of this variety, it has had amazing effects and benefits to my spiritual practice. People think I have slipped them something, and I tell them, "Nope. It's just Pu-erh tea from Rishi."

Quite smelly in the bag. Actually, smells a bit of seaweed, or of nori rolls somehow before brewing. Left in the pot for 5-6 minutes, and the smell intensifies, but minus any strong sense of that seaweed I mentioned earlier. As some of the reviewers have noted, the taste (at least on first brewing) is not strong as some other fermented teas can be. This is really pleasant. A gentle puerh that doesn't dominate your tastebuds.
